IJ sl JI sl/en AI Slovenijo naj bi na osnovi morfoloških podatkov naseljevali dve vrsti evropskega kaplja, Cottus gobio in C. metae. Za slednjega so znane tri lokalitete, predvideva pa se, da poseljuje areal od izvirnih delov Save do pritoka Kolpe. Tako Kolpo kot reke jadranskega povodja in dravskega porečja pa naj bi poseljeval C. gobio. V raziskavi smo ţeleli ugotoviti, ali se kaplji, ki naseljujejo areal vrste C. metae, na osnovi nukleotidnega zaporedja kontrolne regije mitohondrijske DNA (CR mtDNA) ločijo od vrste C. gobio. Poleg tega smo ţeleli ugotoviti, koliko filogeografskih linij kaplja naseljuje Slovenijo. Vzorčili smo tudi na širšem območju severozahodnega Balkana, ki na splošno velja za vročo točko biodiverzitete. Izkazalo se je, da kaplji C. metae na podlagi CR mtDNA tvorijo lastno filogeografsko linijo. Kaplji C. gobio, ki naseljujejo vodotoke jadranskega povodja in dravskega porečja, skupaj z ostalimi evropskimi pripadniki vrste tvorijo lasten klad. Z veliko verjetnostjo lahko trdimo, da kaplji, ki poseljujejo Kolpo, na molekularni osnovi ne spadajo v vrsto C. gobio. Ti namreč skupaj s haplotipi, ki jih najdemo v reki Uni, tvorijo lastno linijo. Filogenetske raziskave so pokazale, da se evropski kapelj v osnovi deli na dve sestrski skupini, ki po naši razlagi predstavljata dva časovno ločena kolonizacijska vala. Domnevamo, da je kaplju zahodni Balkan sluţil kot odskočna deska kolonizacije Evrope obeh valov. III Bravničar J. Taksonomska analiza kaplja (Cottus sp.) v Sloveniji z uporabo molekularnih metod.

IN SLOVENIA WITH APPLICATION OF MOLECULAR METHODS DT Graduation Thesis (University studies) NO VI, 51 p., 4 tab., 11 fig., 61 ref. LA sl AL sl/en AB Two morphologically defined European bullhead species, Cottus gobio and C. metae, are known to inhabit the rivers in Slovenia. There are three described localities of C. metae with presumed species range from the headwaters of the Sava river to the Kolpa confluence. C. gobio assumed range are the Kolpa and Drava watershed along with the rivers of the Adriatic drainage. The aim of this study was to assess whether the bullheads populating the C. metae range are genetically distinct from the neighboring C. gobio. We also tended to perform phylogeographic analysis to find out how many lineages of bullhead are there in Slovenia. Besides Slovenia, sampling was performed also in a wider area of northwestern Balkans, which is known as one of the main European biodiversity hot spots. Based upon CR mtDNA analysis, C. metae turned to be a distinctive phylogeographical lineage, while the sample-set of the Drava and Adriatic drainage was recognized as C. gobio. Bullheads in the Kolpa river poses haplotypes, which are mostly related to the ones found in the Una, and together form a distinctive phylogeographic lineage that was found to be related neither to C. gobio nor C. metae, and possibly represent a new species. Phylogenetic studies showed that European bullheads form two major groups, each of which were involved in two subsequent colonization waves of Europe. We suggest that both colonizations started in the western Balkans. IV Bravničar J. Taksonomska analiza kaplja (Cottus sp.) v Sloveniji z uporabo molekularnih metod. Diplomsko delo.

Slika 1: Navadni kapelj (Cottus gobio) iz Donave C. metae (barjanski kapelj) naj bi naseljeval zgornje porečje Save, in sicer od njenih izvirov do sotočja s Kolpo. Za to vrsto so značilni okosteneli ostanki lusk pod prsno plavutjo (angl. prickles), kar v slovenščino prevajamo kot bodci. Bodci lahko pri osebkih, velikih okoli 8 cm ali več, izginejo (Freyhof in sod. 2005). Holotipski primerek izvira iz reke Iščice ob Igu pri Ljubljani, tej lokaciji pa pripada še deset opisanih paratipskih primerkov. Dodatnih primerkov, ki so prispevali k opisu karakteristik vrste, je še 12 iz neimenovanega potoka v Ljubljani in šest iz Save Bohinjke pri Bohinjski Bistrici (Freyhof in sod. 2005). Na podlagi teh lokacij je bil predlagan tudi zgoraj omenjeni areal vrste. 1 Bravničar J. Taksonomska analiza kaplja (Cottus sp.) v Sloveniji z uporabo molekularnih metod. Diplomsko delo.

    Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems (2011) 403, 10 © ONEMA, 2011 http://www.kmae-journal.org DOI: 10.1051/kmae/2011071 Assessment of the conservation status of endemic sculpin Cottus haemusi (Cottidae) in the river Vit (Danube Tributary), northwest Bulgaria E. Petrova Uzunova(1) Received March 29, 2011 Revised July 14, 2011 Accepted July 25, 2011 ABSTRACT Key-words: Cottus haemusi (Marinov and Dikov, 1986. Acta Zool. Bulg. 3, 18–23) is an Cottus haemusi, endemic fish species that is restricted to the upper tributaries of the river distribution, Vit, Northwest Bulgaria. After its discovery in 1986, no further investigation abundance, of the C. haemusi population has been conducted. The aims of the present size, study were to determine its current population status based on the distri- conservation bution, abundance and size structure of the C. haemusi population and to measures analyse the main environmental parameters of its habitat. Five upland tri- butaries and the main river were examined in low-water periods in 2009 and 2010. Two-pass electrofishing surveys were performed at 14 sites to estimate species presence, abundance and size distribution. C. haemusi was only detected in two tributaries of the river Vit: Kostina and Toplja. The current investigation failed to find the species at previously recorded sites. The total distribution area of this species is estimated to be 16 200 m2. The observed abundance of the Vit sculpin ranged from 5.6 to 8.4 indivi- duals·100 m–2, with a mean of 7.0 individuals·100 m–2. Investigation of the size structure revealed the relatively low contribution of one-summer-old individuals.

Luxembourg: Publications Office of the European Union. Design & Layout by: Tasamim Design - www.tasamim.net Printed by: The Colchester Print Group, United Kingdom Picture credits on cover page: The European Mudminnow (Umbra krameri) is a European endemic found in the Danube and Dniestr basin. Its population has declined by more than 30% in the past 10 years due to river regulation and drainage of wetlands for agriculture which resulted in a reduced number of backwaters. This species is therefore classed as Vulnerable. Photograph © Andreas Hartl.
